barbie's coffee

While I was in Texas with my best friends from college, Barbie and Leslie,I ate a lot of things as was duly noted in the post....i ate my way through Texas.But being back in California, trying to get myself back into the swing of normalcy,where I am not eating every 2.4 minutes and I have a small crew of children to herdon a daily basis, I have had a hankering for one thing.Barbie's coffe. I drank somewhere around 37 cups last weekend.Somehow, somewhere, Barbie came up with a special blend of coffee while we were in college.Coffee with a hint of hazelnut and cinnamon and some cream. Make sure to add cream.And so this morning as I dragged myself out of bed to go sub at Addie's school,I reached into the recesses of my cupboard and spooned out 2 coffees and a sprinkle of cinnamon into my drip coffee maker.And as I sip it even now it is soothing my nerves and calming my spirit before I head into my hectic morning.Thought you might need your nerves soothed with a touch of Barbie's coffee this fine fall morning yourself.Barbie's Coffee1 large T french roast coffee1 large T hazelnut coffeesprinkling of cinnamon on top of the grounds4 1/2 C water (the 4 1/2 line on your coffee maker.

Oh, LOVE your post and must add - I am now 46 years old and have JUST started drinking coffee. I have become a coffee-a-holic and it seemed to happen overnight! Your recipe sounds divine - thank you for sharing and tell Barbie - we thank her too!

Ok, you know me, am a coffee addict (it all began when I worked at this cute little coffee store in Arlington VA!). Had to try this out, but changed it a little: I used my French Press, and used some "Cowboy Coffee" instead of french roast, because that's what i had, and "Pumpkin Spice" instead of Hazelnut because a friend gave this to me. Sprinkled cinnamon on it and it was WONDERFUL!!!! You are right, you must have cream to go with it!
